"Hoop
Mountain Central provides a much needed avenue for student-athletes,
not only in Kansas but throughout the Midwest. The
philosophy of Hoop Mountain Central is exactly what I
look for when recommending outside programs for my players."
- Carl Taylor, 2002-2003 Kansas
Boys Basketball Coach of the Year, Wichita Southeast High
School

"What
impressed us so much with Hoop Mountain Central is that
the coaches seemed genuinely concerned about the players,
there was a strong emphasis on teaching and there was
a personal touch involved. Your camp was great for my
son, Michael, and it will be very beneficial in helping
him get to the next level. Michael was disciplined, encouraged,
motivated and most importantly, he was a better player
and person when he left your camp."

- Paul Kish,

"I just wanted to drop you a note letting you know how much we enjoyed our stay in Wichita. Our daughters had a great time and developed some great relationships with other girls from the area. The camp was our 6th of the summer and was in my daughters' opinion the best. The coaches and staff at Hoop Mountain Central were top notch and professional. The basketball knowledge of your staff was abundant. Again, thank you for a great experience. See you next year!

a lot and had fun at the same time. I can't wait to come
back next year!" - Jordan Thomas, Overland Park,

"This
part of the country has waited long enough for a program
like Hoop Mountain Central. Hoop Mountain Central
not only is instrumental in player development, but also
gives our student-athletes a chance to be exposed to various
colleges and earn scholarships. I definitely
recommend Hoop Mountain Central to players looking to
play at the next level.

"I can not thank your staff and faculty enough! My son left Atlanta a few weeks ago to attend your camp and completely came back a new person. I am amazed! He can't stop talking about how wonderful all of you were. He tells all of his friends. Since your camp, he has become much more responsible. He doesn't want to go pro or anything, but being at Hoop Mountain has raised his standards significantly and he seems to want better for himself. I don't know exactly what you guys do there in Kansas, but next year can't come fast enough!!! TWO CLAPS FOR HOOP MOUNTAIN CENTRAL!!!

- Rosalind Steele, Atlanta, Georgia

have attended many similar basketball events over the
years, but I have never experienced such quality program

recommended your program to my daughter's entire team!" - Sarah Martinez, Wichita, Kansas

“As
a basketball coach, I am dedicated to the development
of fundamental and game skills for every student-athlete.
In today's basketball, the teaching of fundamentals
has become lost. Hoop Mountain Central is dedicated
to bringing fundamental instruction back to
the game.” -Phil Daignault,
Head Boys Coach, Wichita West High School

"If
you're looking for an intense camp experience that combines
excellent teaching, than Hoop Mountain Central is the
place to be. My son learned so much last summer
at the shooting and scoring camp and he loved working
with Dave Hopla, the shooting camp director. We've
also noticed a big improvement in our son's shooting
and rebounding abilities since the camp. -- Audrey
Robertson, Wichita, Kansas
